I'm wondering (as I slide Temple of Doom in the DVD player as background noise) why the Trilogy DVD Menu looks so poor. Does anybody know? More to the point, is there anybody who likes it?

It looks to me as though one should don 3D glasses to pick up some kind of extra information.

It wasn't great. I wonder why.

Did'nt mind Temple of Doom of course theres far worst movies out there then it.

Temple of doom is great.
Its a lot of fun.
(Complete contrast to its poor imitation two movies later.)

Yup. ToD was a tad overdone in some places, but it's highlights make it stand out far above TAOS.

LOL That acronym still creases me up

What acronym?

I think that the low quality menus were some pre-cum from Lucas and Spielberg in anticipation of what they were to do to him in the next movie.

OMG!!

On the other hand, we'll get a great new Southpark episode.

This is true. Notify Parker and Stone immediately.

And prepare my star destroyer for arrival.

Yes, Lord Sadako.

Well done... *Points finger at Queeq as if to reemphasize the price of failure*...Admirallllll.

*rubs throat*

Quick send a jug of beer out.

heeheehee

Like the new Avvy, Kaz.

Who is that?

Its a different pic now.

Nick Fury.

Aha

Morten Harket's posse?

A classic for piece of easy listening Euro-style for the Queeqster...

VZyOmHbrRyk

Ah... quite relaxing.


Is that Gene Simmons' unsuccesfull brother?

It might very well be..

I guess he tried to grow a long beard to match his brother's tongue.

Arrrrrrrrrrrr.

20ft long and black as a coal mine shaft at night, some say......

That figures.

That might be why he claims to have shagged over a 1,000 chicks.

Here is Simmons and his band in a more advant garde moment....

Excellent... better than the original.

I thought so too.

"Fatman philantropyyyyyy..."

VEry well done actually... the music is quite outstanding.

Yep that took some serious time and work...

Genius stuff.

I'd welcome it as Kiss's new album.

No one has shampoo...so life is pain for meeeeeeeee..
Now life is painnnn...for youuuuuu...!!!

But I was paid to flllllllllllyyyyyy with yooooouuuuuu, Batman...

You love it too eh?

Its awesome. There are a series of them.

Really?? Damn... I gotta see those.

Yeah, I've been watching them all morning on Youtube.

Kiss is really one of the best though, and I loved the Eric Clapton one... Superb. I almost died laughing.

Thought you'd like em.

Good show.

Watching this on YT right now. Saw it as a kid....just watching it for nostalgiggles:

FFSIK4lEYGk

Must be THE inspiration for Sharktopus: metal detector, lots of hot, scarcely dressed women, lame plot, bad acting.... OUTSTANDING.

A classic.

Another Classic: Death Ship

Seen that one... The one with Richard Crenna and George Kennedy?

Err... no.

lQ2zVFW8ixQ

OMG... a boat version of Christine...

Seeing George Kennedy I'd almost think it's a Zucker brothers film.

Hahaha His role in this movie may surprise you...

I'm sure.

Goes to show the power of the Zuckers though, eh?

They ruled.

...and still kinda do.

(Through Family Guy)

THat's them???

Im pretty sure their name was on the credits someplace, yeah...

Wow... I learned something new today.

That you picked a hell of a week to quit Smoking/Amphetamines/Glue sniffing?

Robert Stack!

Lloyd Bridges, you mean..

Oh darn... yes, you' re right.

I guess you picked a hell of a week to quit being right....

Another case perhaps of "Xtremephail" lol

It's contageous!!!

Especially on a Saturday morning.

Darn.

Well at least we are out of the Saturday morning warning zone of contagious terror..



































...and straight in to the Sunday morning warning zone of contagious terror..!

Which is quite a difference.

Absolutely.

And now it's Monday...

No its not.

No... It's the day The Making of Empire Strikes Back was delivered...

Ooooh! Is it good?

I just paged through it a bit... the reviews are very good.

Cool.

And it's a nice addition to the other two: The Making of Star Wars and The Making of Indiana Jones.

I'm yet to get 'em.

I should be ashamed of myself.





So does the book tell you anything you didn't know before as a long term hardcore fan?

You don't have them....??? *quoting from The Apprentice:* That is shameful!

Well, some things yeah. The whole coming about of the films is very interesting. It doesn't have too much info on the shoot but very much so of the development.

PAging through the Empire book I read some interesting things... Lucas' notes really spell out that he has not a clear clue where it is all going after Empire or even what went before.

A very interesting note was in a copy of Lucas' notebook: Luke is the chosen one... Hehehe... I knew it! It made more sense than Anaking... his first idea was better...

Anyway, I like those things. Some newbie fanboys still think Lucas had the PT spelled out ages ago... This once again proves he didn't... The whole 'other' thing (Luke's sister) wasn't entirely panned out. Even the nature of Vader was something he was toying with. I read a note: "a mynock, half machine/half human mercenary (Vader?)"

And nice pictures. Just own them dude...

Will do. That sounds brilliant.

Go go go

Well right now its more like 'wheel wheel wheel'
or crutch crutch crutch .

I must bide my time.

WTF? What did you do?

I had bad luck, I guess. See PM.

Read it.... pretty serious stuff...

Indeed. I'd not really gotten the hang of this decade.

Gonna go back to the eighties for a bit to a time before Bay, where Troma ruled the earth.

Ah... now you blame Bay.... clever.

No blame.... just I recover better watching works of art ranging through to regular-level-terrible movies.

I just cant go to the Sub Bay-sement levels of entertainment and expect a good outcome.

Makes a lot of sense... for a change.

Indeed. I would hate to have to throw myself out of my window to escape, should TAOS be on TV, catching me by surprise potentially at a point in time when Im not near the remote.

You need to be able to walk before you can throw yourself out of anything...

I can at least stumble on crutches to the window in sheer panic.

Stumble in panic? Now that I'd like to see.

Its good the 1st 20 times you see it at least.

Video please.

No.

Breaking Bad and Toxic Avenger will do as a close joint second.

Ah... so I must go and look for that now, eh?

Absolutely.

Damn...

And look also for stitches for your sides too. You'll need 'em.

Steel wire them?

Yep. Id say so. Best be sure. Some of that shit is life-endangeringly funny.

OKay..

I shat my colon and three of my ribs out on the beginning car scene alone, through laughter.

Hehehe... sounds interesting.

Ideal "friday night with a few beers" movie.

Aha.... the beers seem quite essential.

Although not so much that you cant appreciate the subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle tongue in cheek brilliance of it.

Subtle??? Toxic Avenger??

Yep. Its in the editting.

And it's 'editing'.

Thanks for the editt.

THey do look a lot better than those in TAOS.

Heheh true that.

I actually kinda root for the Gopher in this movie.

But not so in KOTCS.

Maybe you rooted too hard for him and Spielberg decide to use him and his family. Maybe it's all your fault.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!!

Yeeeeeess..

Okay then now where onto the wilhelm scream....what ??

A fairly natural reaction to Queeq's revelatory suggestion that I was responsible for the insertion of Gophers into Indy III.

True... the truth hurts and makes screams like that happen.

That and alligator attacks to the scrotum, by all accounts.

THey have a different pitch though.

Not according to Wilhelm.

Apparently, that was his optimum pitch for getting his nutsack torn off by the beast. Interestingly, Mola Ramm and a couple of his buddies screamed the same when it became their time for reptile induced goolie savaging..

True.... you are a real Wilhelm guru.
